Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Scottish Grand National: 23 starters. 8 finishers. 2 horse fatalities. How long can horse racing retain its social licence to operate while these sort of results happen in the highest profile races. Preventable risks on race day that are not being minimised. Risk management is a welfare priority.

Any day now, ducklings will begin to appear, and we need your help to monitor them. We are asking for records of mallard broods anywhere in the UK this year to help us understand how many ducklings make it to adulthood. Submit your sightings here:

Please share!

The subtle switch that happens when a dual national lands in an EU airport and stops being a British passport person to instead become a burgundy passport person... It's lovely to see the European flag flying next to il Tricolore all over Rome. ๐ช๐บ ๐ฎ๐น

This made me a bit nostalgic for the days of rummaging around in Oracle databases. Sharing for any DBAs and SQL nerds out there: He's making a database, He's sorting it twice, SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE behaviour = "nice" SQL Clause is coming to town

data modelling, I have yet to meet someone who has never given me code I couldn't break simply by putting this at the top: rm(list = ls()) Consider clearing your workspace and rerunning the code your first line of defence against bugs.
